U.S. Sen. John McCain wants to see the ambassador to Turkey “thrown the hell out” of America but played nicer in an official letter, criticizing a brawl in Washington between a Turkish security detail and protesters.

“These are not just average people who did the beatings, these are Erdogan’s security detail. Somebody told them to go out there and beat up on these peaceful demonstrators. I think it should have repercussions.” McCain said.

“People have the right, in our country, to peacefully demonstrate, and they were peacefully demonstrating.”
